Chapter 246: Ultimate Spiderman III
Dave looked around the Helicarrier as they escorted him through its metallic corridors. The steady hum of machinery, the constant movement of agents, the faint scent of metal and coffee—it all brought back vague memories he never actually lived.
'Nothing much changed,' he thought. ' Its the same as one from mine'
He smirked quietly to himself as they turned a corner and approached a large, reinforced door that slid open with a soft hiss.
Inside stood Nick Fury, eyeing him with the kind of intensity that could unnerve a lesser man. But Dave? He just strolled in like he owned the place.
"Welcome, Mr. Dave Garcia," Fury said, voice firm but diplomatic. "It's good to finally have you here."
Dave glanced around, noting the S.H.I.E.L.D. tech scattered throughout the room and the subtle presence of agents pretending not to eavesdrop.
" You are different" Dave suddenly said as he looked at Fury.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Fury narrowed his eye, visibly confused by Dave's earlier comment.
Dave took a sip of the coffee an agent had handed him. "I meant... you're not the Fury I'm used to. The Fury from my universe was more... paranoid. Less trusting. Always three steps ahead. You?" He gave a half-smile. "You're almost approachable. It's weird."
Fury stared him down. "You're saying you're not from this universe?"
"Didn't I say that already?" Dave tilted his head, feigning surprise. "I thought it was obvious. Your world's kind of a Saturday morning special compared to mine. I mean—we are from different realities?" He chuckled.
